Based on prior year results vs expectation, anything between 50-60% is basically a toss up. 60% to 70% is a slight favorite. Anything between 70-75% is solid favorite but losing wouldn't be out of the question, anything 75-85% is pretty heavy favorite and 85%+ is basically a lock.

They are based on stats, not human judgment. The stats say LSU is 17 points better than Arkansas at home, and I think that seems like a pretty fair assessment heading into the season.

Preseason advanced stats are an inexact science at best.
Look at a team like Michigan. They lost like 20 starters. There is no way to get a good handle on what expectations should be, especially down to tenths of a point.

Highest win probability on the board. This approaches rent-a-win out of conference cupcake probability levels. What a shame what's happened to this former great rivalry.

How many of those were favorites last year?

Gamblers will buy anything that they think will give them an edge. That is why most live in rentals.

The preseason predictions are by far the most volatile, but once we get to about Week 3 the predictions are almost 95% of the time within the "win % prediction" meter. It's pretty incredibly accurate overall.
But right now it's definitely a hodge podge of prior year stats, returning production, recruiting, etc.

Yep... Butch gone after this season

vs UGA 51% but vs @UF (UF has a 70 percent chance). Now I would say this is due to home field advantage but then the stat says LSU winning @Neyland is 71 percent (that's ridiculous).

We get it, it doesn't say Auburn 12-0 so it's dumb and stupid and you don't like it.
Understood.

Ones that stood out to me. Seems to be very down on Tennessee and up on Georgia Tech.

LSU is incredibly overvalued.

If it's including last year's defensive stats then all predictions for UT are very much fricked up. That defense finished near the bottom of CFB due to an unprecedented number of injuries.
We lost more starts than any team in all of CFB due to injuries.

It probably does to some extent (mainly because it can't guess what the stats would have been), but it clearly doesn't entirely as Tennessee finished 52nd in defense in 2016 per S&P+ and is predicted to finish 38th this year.
